Published 5:08 pm, Thursday, February 6, 2014

Montgomery County deputies were dispatched to 12500 Walden Road at 6:30 p.m. Jan. 31 in reference to a disturbance in progress with weapons.

Deputies learned several people were playing basketball, when two white males arrived and reportedly started arguing with the people playing basketball.

Witnesses reported the two white males left and came back about 10 minutes later, allegedly brandishing a black handgun and a black shotgun. Patrol officers learned the argument continued and one of the males allegedly pointed the handgun at the witnesses and fired one round in their direction.

The man then ran to a black Honda Civic that was parked in the driveway. The victim said the individual with the handgun fired two more times while the other male discharged the shotgun from the Honda Civic.

The two men then fled the scene in the black Honda. Deputies located one spent .40-caliber shell casing at the scene.

Deputies conducted a search of the neighborhoods and were able to locate the black Honda Civic described in the altercation.

The vehicle was parked in a driveway in the 3900 block of Knollcrest in Montgomery.

Deputies inspected the outside of the Civic and located one fired shell casing on the hood/vent area of the vehicle. The fired shell casing found on the Honda Civic was the same type of shell casing found at the shooting scene.

Deputies further learned that Michael Gregory Nallie was living at that address and matched the description given by the complainant as the man who fired the handgun.

On Tuesday, detectives contacted the Montgomery County District Attorney’s Office and advised them of the earlier altercation. Based on their conversation, detectives obtained a search warrant for the home where Nallie was living. Detectives then went to the residence and recovered the weapons.

The District Attorney’s Office accepted aggravated assault with a deadly weapon charges on Nallie, 23, and Austin Wilkie Ellis, 26. Both are from the Montgomery area.
